Too Late to Buy a PS2?

I was thinking of picking up a Ps2 in a few months, for the summer. Are games still being made for it, and would it be a good choice for a money-conscious person? I'd mostly play stuff like Persona and Final Fantasy, I like rpg's a lot more then fps's (i use my computer for fps's). So yeah, would it be a decent rpg machine, without graphics so bad they're distracting? Thanks.p00zer

I got my PS2 around 2002, and I'm still playing games for it. Its library is HUGE. Just when I thought I played all the top tier games for the console, I happen to get interested in SMT DDS.Dont get the PS2 just for RPGs though, there are a lot more excellent games in their respective genres.

Don't worry about graphics. The PS2 is not that bad in the graphics department. The only thing the PS2 lacks is First-person shooters (which is a good thing imo. The PC is better)

And you've probably missed the Jak,Ratchet and Clank,Sly,Metal Gear Solid,ICO,Shadow of the Colossus and God of War series on the PS2. You should check them out. Trust me, if you like great games and wanna have an excellent time during summer - get the PS2. Its really awesome.

There are games being made for it still, but the thing is that they are just lowly ports of 7th gen games.

The games previously released for it are the good ones you should look for.

Thanks for all of your replies. What are some games by the way? My current list of games I'm interested in are as follows;

-Persona

-Final Fantasy

-Metal Gear Solid

-God of War (maybe...really doesnt seem like my sort of game, but everybody seems to like it)

-Shadow of the Colossus

-Tales of- games

Am I missing any really good RPG's or other PS2 titles? Thanks.

Dragon Quest VIII- Old school, but still a good title

Disgaea 1 and 2 if you have even the slightest interest in Strategy RPG's. Tough on beginners, but lots of fun.

Almost anything from the Shin Megami Tensei series: I see you have Persona on your list(good call, but play and finish 3 before starting 4), but if you can find them try the Digital Devil Saga and Nocturne.

From what I have played thus far Ar Tonelico II is pretty good, couldn't tell you about the first one though. That one slipped by me.

I own a slim black PS2 which I've had for a few years now and I went out and bought a silver PS2 just last year. It's still in the box and it'll stay there until the other craps out. So it's not to late.CADMAN_3
